A Note From Gail
Several Chamber members are receiving an email with the subject “2012 city of Park Ridge Family First Campaign!!!” It has nothing to do with the City or the Chamber and any money made from advertising does not stay here in Park Ridge. It’s a for-profit company that looks like its from or benefiting the City but it isn’t.
Be safe out there today – it’s a snowy day!

Diamond, a regular presenter at The Summit for almost 20 years, will trace the artist’s life and feature his music which fused rhythm and blues and gospel into his early recordings.

Frank Sinatra called Charles “the only true genius in show business.”
